    Download speed settings?


    I download large files from time to time and notice that my download speeds are in excess of 350Mbs or rather 100% DL bandwidth is being allocated, which in turn drag resources from internet explorer when trying to view other pages or downloading other files simulaneously, also I have noticed that sometimes the downloads are cut off before finishing as if my bandwidth just drops out or corrupted as a result of the download speed. I have noticed when using DL managers not native to windows that the same thing would occur until I lowered the max dl speed. i do not want to use a third party dl manager.

    I use win 7 default download manager and can set the default diectory but am not able to find where to set the download speed. I want to set it to at least 50% so I have other resources available.

    I am familiar with editing the registry and have searched for entries pertaining to download attributes but cant find what I am looking for.

    I have searched on the interent with no luck.

    I have searched win 7 options with no luck...

    Can anyone help?

    I do not want to use a third party DL manager as some files I download cannot be done with use of third party DL mangers.

    That is why I need to configure win 7 default dL manager...

    I'm not aware of a Win 7 download manager, downloading is a function of your browser. Which browser are you using? There may be browser settings you can alter.

    There are no throttling options. Majority of people want faster downloads not slower.

    Not when it takes away from my other browser functions while downloading. I multi-task...
